Basically its a very smooth build but the front and rear camber links are turning out to be a nightmare to screw together. I dont really have the proper tools to do so, which is why they start feeling VERY VERY tight and I cant screw them in enough to get the right lenghts. What tools do people use to assemble the front rear camber links? ALSO, is there any technique/tip/tricks involved when assembling the camber links? ANY sort of advice would help as simply trying to muscle then in isnt working for me AT ALL.

Also I understand that the camber ends are threaded as we screw the links in. Is that how its supposed to go down? Or am i supposed to thread them with something else before screwing the links in? I had no need to do so up till now in the process (as every plastic is freshly threaded when I insert screws), but maybe I should now? ANYWAY, HELP PLEASE! SOS CALL!


Eagerly waiting for replies! Thanks in advance.
I use a vice grip to hold onto the middle nut on the link, then use bare hands to get the thread started (and brute force) then use a screw driver tip through the eyelet to turn it the rest of the way in.
